Q&A with Managing Partner Philip Mashinchi
What lies behind your lightning growth?
We provide clear and exceptional services without locking customers into contracts. This commitment has turned our customers into our sales team, creating high demand and sometimes a waiting list for new customers who have decided to use our services.
What do you see as your biggest growth opportunity for the next 12 months?
Cyber security services. There are still many organisations that need assistance to understand the risks and how they can protect themselves. We are launching new services to expand our offering with a new team to address these needs.
What’s a strange or interesting fact about Cambridge Support most people won’t know?
Cambridge Support was meant to be a lifestyle business. It started in a tiny office in Cambridge without any plans to grow, no business plan and very little money! We are very fortunate to be where we are.
